This is the fourth year of the Michigan Brewers Guild Detroit Fall Beer Festival and it has been growing bigger and bigger each year. In fact, this festival has grown so much that the Brewers Guild decided to make it a two-day festival! For Paul and me, this was our second time attending this festival. I really love the fact that it is located in the heart of Detroit at the popular Eastern Market. I love the Eastern Market. We try to make it down there whenever we are in the area on a day that it is open. I am glad that the Brewers Guild decided to just extend the festival to two days rather than move it to an alternate location. I really feel that there is no better location within the Detroit City Limits to hold this wonderful festival.

Fenton Winery & Brewery has the feel of an upscale coffeehouse without the pretentiousness you’ve come to expect from your local beanery. From the comfy environment to the staff and all the way up to the owners, Matt & Ginny Sherrow, this place is just plain friendly (with nary a beret or pencil-thin goatee in sight). Intimate, yet not overbearing, FWB has many good things going for it, not the least of which is the beer and wine.
